dates between 1559 and 1562. These works have now been attributed to Jacob himself. His genre paintings of low-life scenes are similar in style to Bruegel. Savery also painted landscapes that were influenced by Gillis van Coninxloo who worked in Amsterdam from 1595.

This new approach to animal painting likely played a role in his brother Roelant’s development of animal painting into an independent genre.
